I have an MSDN subscription, so I get access to all MS products. I would like to slipstream my installation media to include a valid product key.

Can you give me an example on how to do this? So that the product key is automatically filled in I think Microsoft called this - pre pidded.

Thanks...

use vLite for Windows Vista and 7

Main features are:

hotfix, language pack and driver integration

There's also various guides on the internet detailing how to create unattended MS Office/Visual Studio installations as well. :) – Breakthrough Sep 6 '09 at 11:57

What you are after is an unattended install.
